14:00

Mood: Awkward. That 13:00 update was posted somewhat after the event, and it seems far too soon to be resuming the exercise.

Physical state: More comfortable than I have been all day, as the al fresco lunchtime over-heating effect meets the aircon-chillbox effect halfway. No post-prandial mental dips here!

Other observations:I left a comment at little.red.boat, on the etiquette of saying “I love you”. Which reminds me of the answer which I intend to give when Guardian Weekend finally gets round to featuring me in their Questionnaire section. (It’s OK, I’m in no hurry.)

Q: Have you ever said “I love you” without meaning it?A: No, but I have sung it many times without meaning it.
